T,BERT H.L AU LL, EDIroP ELBERT H. AULL, Proprietors. WM. P. HOUSE AL, _ EWBERRY, S.C, THURSDAY, MARCH 5, 1891. T=. E ALLIANCE AND THE F.RESS. South Carolina, we are proud to say, stands foremost to-day among the Alli ance States of the Union; it has taken the right arm of Kansas and is moving frward to a consummation of the grand designs of the order. -; The great success the Alliance has I met with in this State has aroused the politicians and they are seeking to nd a means to break down our noble order. S The means they have adopted seems to be a subsidized or controlled press controlled by those who oppose the Alliance and its good work. -There are already several papers in this State under such control or in such sympathy.-Cotton Plant. We are glad to chronicle the success of the Alliance in this State or that of any organization that will benefit the farmers. But all this talk about there being a "subsidized or controlled press" in South Carolina in opposition to the Alliance and its good work is the merest claptrap and buncombe. We do not believe any such stuff and it is a very serious charge and the Cotton Plant ought to name the "several pa pers under such control or in such sympathy." We receive at this office nearly every paper published in South Carolina and we read them rather closely and have been unable to detect any evidence which indicates that they have been subsidized. Several of them have Alli ance columns, and all, so far as we have observed, are always ready and willing to publish any Alliance news or infor mation that the Alliance or any of its members may desire published. The Cotton Plant should specify which "the several"papers,are and adduce the proof that they are "subsidized" and are try ing to break down the Alliance, or re tract its broad and sweeping charge. Most of the editors of the State are men of at least ordinary intelligence, and have opinions on public questions, and, as is their right, exercise the priv ilege of expressing these opinions. Not every one who makes the biggest profession of friendship always proves the truest friend. No editor in South Carolina who had no broader views than personal interest, would oppose what he conceived to be the best inter ests of the farmers, nor would he try to break down any noble order of theirs. It would be suicidal for him to do so. What is a politician any way; and iwhg are "the politicians" referred to; and how have they adopted means to "subsidize" or "control" the press? If "the politicians" who get into the Alli 'ance, and from the Alliance into office don't break down the Alliance, it will stand the test. The press of South Carolina has never tried to break down the Alliance nor in any other way tried to injure the farmers. The Alliance is eseg taalmore danger from the Alliance politicians than it is from the press. ______ _ We have received the pros1us of a new paper to be published i ie in terest of temperance at Chester, S. C., and to be called Public Opinion; Bob Jaggers, editor and proprietor, at $1 a year. It will be published every two weeks, and will appear on or before the 4th of April. The prospectus says: "Public Opinion will be Democratic. but not partisan. Will bow to no political Baal. Will think as it pleases, and, without fear, say what it thinks." The Phosphate Commission have takeli formal possession of the phos phate territory heretofore worked by the Coosaw Mining Company. It promises to be a lively fight as the Coosaw people claim they have a con tract with the State for this territory. The Coosaw company is one of the largest companies in the State engaged in the digging of phosphate rock. Last year they mined about 107,000 tons and paid into the treasury of the State about $107,000 as royalty. They stopped work last Saturday and thus threw out of employment about 500 hands, and of course the royalty they have been pay -ing the State will stop until they begin work again. They have a lot of money invested in their plant and the outlook now is for a lot of litigation. 'We trust the matter will all be settled amicably and for the best interests of the State. Although the State cannot afford to be unjust to the company. Large interests are involved an botii Ex-Senator H. W. Blair, of New Hampshire, has been appointed min ister to China. We presume that will end the Blair education bill. He may arouse an interest in education in the celestial kingdom. The success of the Graded Schools and the prospect of soon having a sys tem of water works and electric lights in New berry has given property quite a boom. Without these three evidences of "enterprise and progress" already assured and in prospective property would not have sold half so well. The Lexington grand jury wants the Legislature to pass a law requiring Edge field County to pay the expenses of the Jones trial. Lexington must expect to have Jones on hand for a long time. Tilman, Shell and Irby in Washing ton together! Now look out for an other manifesto which will shake the republic to its foundation.--Greenville News. It is too soon yet. The manifestoI will come by and by, but it is rather early yet, and may be, the centre of motive power will be so far away that most of the force will be spent before it reaches us. Let us rest in peace un til it comies. Gen. Wade Hampton will deliver an address on memorial day in Augusta, April:T7. Great preparations are being made and the grand and noble Caro linian will be given quite an ovation by Georgians and Carolinians alike on hi occasion. - THE THREE C'S. Hon. D. H. Chamberlain, now the receiver of the South Carolina railroad, has recently been appointed receiver of the Three C's. The appointment is con sidered a good one. Mr. Chamberlain has managed the affairs of the South Carolina railroad with signal ability, and he can work the two roads together with advantage to both probably. There are now about 177 miles of road built and in operation belonging to the Three C's. As we understand it, Mr. Chamberlain has the power to continue the construction as well as to operate it. It seems to us that it would be greatly to his advantage to finish the section of road from Edgefield to Blacksburg, known as the Augusta Division. It is graded nearly the en tire length and in addition there are about $275,000 or $300,000 subscribed in township bonds on this division that would become payable if the road were built. The cost of completing this sec tion would not be great and the South Carolina road now has trains between Edgefield and Augusta and if the sec tion of road from Blacksburg to Edge field were built the same rolling stock could be utilized in operating it. We are interested in the building of this division --nd we believe it would pay to do it. The 51st Congress has passed into history. Its work is ended. In the 52nd the Democrats will have the majority in one branch of it. An exchange asks this question: "What is it that reminds you of wink ing at a girl in the dark?" The an swer given is very pertinent and cor rect. It is, "Doing business without advertising-you know what you are doing but the girl does not." This sug gestion is thrown out to some mer chants who may see it and have goods to sell, but who have never thought of the value of judicious advrtising. It is said now that the cotton crop this past year will not exceed eight million bales. Even that makes it the largest crop yet harvested. The Attorney-General has rendered his decision in regard to fees of sheriffs in nulla bona executions. He says that no appropriation has been made by which sheriffs can get these fees, and he advises them to file their claims with the Comptroller-General who will have to apply to the next Legisla ture asking funds to pay the same. The Three C's is now in the hands of a receiver and there will be no more "sixty days" promise as to commencing work on the Augusta Division. THE PHOSPHATE WAR. The Commission Take Possession of the Coosaw Territory-The Company to Ap peal to the United States Court for an Injunction. [Special to the Register.] CHARLESTON, March 2.-The war be tween the State and the Coosaw Phos p hate Company was inaugurated to day, when the Phosphate Commission ers, who went down to Beaufort yes terday, embarked in a tug chartered by the State, and with Governor Tillman on board went down to Coosaw and took possession of the territory to which the Coosaw company claim exclusive right. Possession was taken by each member of the Commission dropping a lead line overboard and sounding the bottom. The Coosaw company has shut down its machinery and is now idle with its 1,000 or more employees. It is understood that in case any per son or company attempts to more rock in their territory the company will ap ply to the United States Court for an injunction, as the river now is a navi gable stream and under the jurisdiction of the United States. It is understood that it is going to be a war of freeze out. The Coosaw company will not mine any rock itself and the United States Court will be invoked to prevent any body else from mining phosphate in the disputed territory. The Coosaw company last year shipped 100,000 tons of rock to Europe, and if the litigation is urolonged this much rock will be withdrawn from the market. 'Ie land phosphate miners are jubilant and already talk of raising the price of land rock to $9 a too. The litigation also is expected to boom the recently discovered Florida phosphates. No process has yet been issued by the United States Court here. TOWNSHIP BONDS. Cave Creek Township, Lancaster County, Bonds Are Invalidated. [Special to Augusta Chronicle.1 CHARLESTON, S. C., Feb. 28.--The United States court to-day decided the suit of the Massachusetts and Southern Construction Company vs. the Town ship of Cave Creek, Lancaster County. The bill was brought to enforce the delivery of $19,000 bonds of the town ship, issued in aid of the Three C's road. The refusal to issue the bonds was based on the ground that the amount was in -excess of the 8 per cent. constitutional limit affixed to the indebtedness of mu nicipalities. It was submitted on proof that 8 per cent. of the assessed valua tion of the taxable property in the township is $18,570, or $430 less than the debt incurred. The court dismissed the suit on that ground, taking the val uation of 1888, the date of the act of the Legislature creating the debt. The court rules: "The act having created a debt obnoxious in amount to the pro visions of the constitution, the whole debt is invalid, and it is not competent for the court to decla--e so much valid as comes within the constitutional pro-. vision." This throws out $19.000 of the bonds issued in aid of the Three C's road. Ben Tiliman in Washington. [Ne York Times.] Governor Tillman, of Scuth Carolina, has been enjoying the privilege of occu pying a seat in the House of Rtepresen tatives, which is a privilege common to the governors of States. He is a young-looking man, with smooth face and dark, grimy complexion. He is rather tall and slender, and somewhat awkward in his movements. His hands are rough and marked with the scars of toil, and the brawny wrists are not decorated with cuffs. He has a heavy chin and a mouth every line of which denotes firmness, the expression being set and not broken at any time by a smile. There is a blankness about his countenance, caused by the absence of an eye. The socket of his left eye is empty. He bears only a slight resemblance to his brother, Representative Tillman1. The man was a stranger to the members of the House, as well as to the public. He does not appear old enough to be a governor, and he does not look like the governor of a State like South Caro lina. He seems more like a son of the ustling and hardy West. His conver sation is not fluent, but the'lack of that quality seems to come from a contempt for talk and not from a lack of capabil-! ity.

M.-The signal office furnishes the fol lowing special to the press : Weather reports from Northern Florida show this morning to have been among the coldest on record there for this season of the year.

SENATOR HEARST Is NO MORE. The Death of the California Millionaire and Democratic Senator. *WASHINGToN, J). C., February 28. Senator Hearst, of California. (iied at 9.10 o'clock to-nigh t. Senator George Hearst wvas the son of William G. 1[earst, of Sout Caro lina, and was born in Franklin County, Missouri, on the 'Ird of Sep tember, 1820. H ec enjoyed but fe ad vantages and received a comm.mi school education. H is early manhood was spent upoin his father's fa-m. When quite young lhe entered th'e mining business, out of which lie sub seuently made his enormous fortu no. His mining~ interests have grown to such an extent that his mills give emt ployment to about 2,000 men. HeI was one of the first to go to California (lur ing the gold tever, and aacer a year- of hard work discovered a rich qJuartz ledge which was the foundation of his fortune. After accumulating a large amount of money lie embarked in the merchandisng business in Sacramen-to, from wvhich he retired wvithi forty dol lars to return to the river bar to work gold. He went fronm field to field dig ging for gold and by 1805 was credited as being worth a millhion doliars. H-e lost considerable of this hard-earned money- in the financial troub!es that followed the war. He made cons.idet a ble money in real estate in San Fran cisco. In 1860 he organized what has been one of the leading mi ningz firms in the world. Mr. Hearst was con sidered the lar-gest mtine and land owner in the world. His first political mark was made as a member of the Californ ia State eiris lature, to whieh lie was elected in ]s:5. He was named by Glovernoi- Stoneman to fill the unexpired termi of Senator Miller and was sub sequentlv ele-cte.1 t-) succeed Senator WiUamIS. ReCpublican. Senator Hearst was one of the iea ing Democrats of the Pacific coasr. He leaves one son, William R. H ear t, the editor atyl owner of the .San Fran cisco ENamrn- er.

Last year at the meeting of the S'ate T:achers' Association, at Greenville, a C(iininittee wa::s appointed to take charge of a mhov emllent looking to the forma tion of a teachers' assemhbly. The com nmittee wavs given foil power. The or gatniza:tioIi Las been perfected and a declaration for a charter filed with the eretarv of State. The commission states that the stock will consist of 1o,uot, shares at -. each. The follow ing are the ottleers: W. J. Thackston, \ssistant: ipcr:itendent of Education, Preside<nt: J. F.

Cork, Ninety-six; Robt. 3lorrison, C.indent. It hardly seems necessary to say that this itove is in the right aireCtion. South Carolina is arousing herself on the subject of education, and the teach ers feel the efl'ects. Our annual gather ing have not been attended as they Should be. There are over 2,000 white t.ac"hers in the tate and scarcely 310 are iem:bers of the Association. Those who have kept up the meetings are anxious to have the hearty co-opera tion and presence of their fellow teach ers. North Caroli-la has a flourishing nieetieg at Morehead. The teachers own their grounds and buildings, and last year had about 2,000 teachers pres ent at their meeting. We are anxious to have every white teacher take one or iore shares in this Assembly novenent. ''he money will be pay able in eir"y installments. It is not charity that we are asking, but an in vestmuenht that will do you, and your fellow teachers, good. The plaee for the establishment of this buiiding has not been chosen. al though there are many offers to select frorm:. The liackshurg people offer '1,000 in mlonev and all land nheeeded, biesiles other indcluceinents. There is a o t't from (reenville and Parik totntai!:.

We notice that two histories of Sout b Carolina are soon to be published-one by Mr. J. L. Weber, School Commris sioner of ('harleston County, the other byv Mir. .Johrn A. Chapman, of N%ew berry. Th claimrs of [both off these gerni mni will be presented to the~ tte Board of Ex:uiiners at ain early (ay. We need a better school history. D :rvidson's histoiy is tire only one that we now have, ami it does not fully neet theC demnand. It is too brief, and ioes n~ot seauii to be as well suited tc thre averarge puil as~ a school history sould be. Although it is the only one we now have, anid shrould be used on that account~ at ieast, mn all public schools, yet such is riot tire case. We~ find a gr'eat mny n' teachers whvio do not teach South Cairolina history at all, that is, no mrie thanr is found ini the linitedi Startes histories. In conse quenice of this, pupils know as much aout the history of New, York or anys other Northern or Western State as tiey, do aiboutt that of our own State. Wiien tIre new histories come out we hope that there will be a chang~e, and that the history of South Car'olina will Ibe pr'om inenrt ini onur commiron schools. It ought to be at least. The puile schools of Newberry County will run on an average abiout three and a half mionthrs thris year. The termr will be us long, or perhaps a little longer thran it Ihas been for two years past. A great many of the schools will be aided by priv'ate subscription, which will enable tire schools5 to continue in session six mronthis or more. No schiool :hold close withrin six months.
